3rd gen opinion base

ok lets say you got your 3rd gen engine making reasonable power, (est. 330 hp/350 ft lbs torque) your running a T5 and still have the 2.73 posi, stock torque arm, stock panhard and 245/50/16's.
wheelspin is a bitch, your thoughts on what would be the cheapest way to make that third gen moderately hook ??????

You need to get some gears that are more suited to you powerband. With those numbers, you're killing your 2.73's.:nono:
